Q. (x+3)(x+6)Which of the following is equivalent to the given expression?Choose 1 answer:(A) 2x2+9x+18(B) x2+9x+9(C) 2x2−3x+18(D) x2+9x+18
Apply distributive property: Apply the distributive property (also known as the FOIL method for binomials) to multiply the first terms, the outer terms, the inner terms, and the last terms together.(x+3)(x+6)=x×x+x×6+3×x+3×6
Perform multiplication: Perform the multiplication for each term.x×x=x2x×6=6x3×x=3x3×6=18
Combine like terms: Combine like terms 6x and \(3x\").x2+6x+3x+18=x2+(6x+3x)+18=x2+9x+18
Match resulting expression: Match the resulting expression with the given choices.The expression x2+9x+18 matches choice (D).
